The best thing about this trip was undoubtedly the punctuality and cost of this connection. The train arrived exactly at the scheduled time and the budget was friendly.

No direct connection possibleI made my train journey from Ulm to Frankfurt am Main with a change of train, as unfortunately no direct connection was possible at that time. The changeover time was 9 minutes and the connecting train was directly at the opposite track. Fortunately, we were not delayed and everything went according to plan. The train was well cleaned without complaint and the staff were very friendly throughout. I found a very good seat on both trains and was able to make the train journeys very comfortably.

CleanlinessServiceMy train journey from Ulm to Frankfurt was really good. First of all, the train staff were really friendly and helpful. They took care of me and answered my questions, which made the journey really pleasant. But the service in the on-board restaurant wasn't the best, I have to say.
The comfort on the train was solid, and there were power sockets! That was really handy, I could charge my mobile phone and do my work. The price of the ticket was also really fair. But the toilets were not clean. That was really disgusting.
